There's no political interest here. (Although I believe EVERYTHING is political, including not taking a stand!)

The only point I'm making is that (as a Black person) I have the authority to tell you that it's important and how I feel. You can defend whatever you want, I'm just communicating and SUGGESTING that you change the term.

What I find funny is that many here argue that we can't even SUGGEST. And they still say they're in favor of democracy. Oh, okay!

As another black person (3rd gen Ghanaian, sp), you can get lost, and you have no 'authority' (really?) at all to tell me/ others how you feel.

Blacklist it is, for me.

Eu-based, fwiw. As i grew up we were coloUred, for a while, and then 'black' became the easy way to descibe ourselves.
